Tinariwen

Tinariwen are the kings and queens of ‘Assouf' or guitar poetry from the Sahara Desert.

The founding members spent the 1980s holed-up in Libyan military camps dreaming of dignity and self-determination for their own people, the Kel Tamashek of the southern Sahara, and singing songs for an entire generation of young Touareg.

Their rolling yearning grooves and uncompromising messages of simplicity and freedom, distilled over twenty years of struggle, rebellion and exile, have earned them two BBC World Music Award nominations, countless accolades, the attention of high-profile fans such as Robert Plant, Santana, Edge and Thom Yorke, and the enduring respect of their own people.

Performing for one night only in Melbourne, Tinariwen is not to be missed.
